In his end of season interview, chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak promised that the Blues would move swiftly to rebuild the team after City finished trophyless for the first time since the 2016/17. And that promise is coming to fruition with the imminent signing of Reijnders.

This summer's transfer window, perhaps more than any other in recent years, is one where Manchester City have to get their business spot on.

Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign Netherlands midfielder Tijjani Reijnders from Serie A side AC Milan on a five-year contract worth 55 million euros ($62.60 million), a team source confirmed on Wednesday.
